The Violinist

Florin was the finest violinist in his village and he knew it. His style was so wild and primal that the tutors at the Royal Academy upon hearing him playing in Budapest decided to teach him utilising an obscure, unconventional and almost forgotten 19th Century educational methodology that concentrated on preserving his natural aptitude for improvisation, an essential precondition of virtuosity. As a result, he was the origin of all masculine envy and all feminine lust; Not just in his own community, but beyond, into the very heart of a savage Europe he would conquer with his 'Orkestrar', the legendary Rajko Zenekar.

CRYPTOLOGY

Born on a cold night in 1986, it was clear that Omar was a special child. Between 1994-97, Omar lived on the edge of the Great Rift Valley mountain range in darkest Africa. After a time lost in the Great British educational system, it became apparent that Omar's only chance was art school. In the winter of 2007 he was exchanged and went to live in Transylvania (Romania) because he thought it would look good on paper. Painstakingly and with much controversy he graduated from art school in 2009 and his degree show entitled 'Omar's Spuriosity Shop' was met with wide acclaim and his work now exists in many countries. Omar travels around with his briefcase which holds essential documents and he insists on delivering artwork personally, where he can, as long as he is given coffee. He always appears on time and in full Sabbath attire or his leathers. If you should want to contact Omar for exhibitions, commissions, or any other business his email address is zingaromar@gmail.com -
Despite the way that he presents himself, it's all smoke and mirrors, he is in fact very approachable.
